Well we probably have suffered some damage to our USB pen drives by not using the safely remove hardware option and after getting the lesson, we probably haven't removed any device without using Safely Remove Hardware option. Here is a good Tip that you can use to remove your flashdisk without every time using safely remove Option: (same in XP/7)

Computer > Select your Pendrive > Properties > Hardware > Select your Pendrives Device > Policies > Tick Quick Removal

In most Cases The Pendrive is Optimized for Quick Removal by Default! You can also do the same via Device Manager! Either Type Device Manager in Starat Menu ( Win 7) or just right Click on Computer and select Device Manager!

Go to Time.is to compare your computers with the atomic clock time.[the most accurate time source in the world] and find out the time at other locations.

Other than obtaining the inaccuracy of your computer time time.is also offers you the following:

Calendar
Sunrise and sunset times
Information about which time zone a location belongs to
Information about today's holidays and observances
Latitudes and longitudes
Integrated, full screen Google Maps
Population numbers

As for me, I have 10 minutes advanced in order to false my mind in times of hurry! Usually I dont know how the time passes by when I am online so I decided to advance my computer time by 10mins than the actual time.

Filesonic Shuts Down their File-Sharing Service | Uploaded.to blocks US [Megaupload Reflex]

2012-01-23T07:54:00.002+05:00

I piled up a lot of links on my Jdownloader which are on Filesonic and the premium account login that I added to Jdownloader suddenly dissapeared and when I went to settings page, it says Invalid account! so I Went to Filesonic website and Found the following notice:

According to announcement by the site, all file-sharing functionality has now been disabled, leaving current users only with access to files that they have personally uploaded.
Many hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of links all around the web have now been rendered useless, at least temporarily.
In the last few hours, before file-sharing was disabled, Filesonic has ended its rewards program, meaning that uploaders to the site no longer earn money when people download their files.

This has got to do with the Megaupload Shutting down incident and SOPA/PIPA ! Since Like Megaupload, Filesonic is based in Hong Kong. and Filesonic founder dosn't probably want to get arrested! Arrestphobia!!

Furthermore Uploaded.to has blocked access to US users:

One by one , the filesharing sites are falling! In the end it could come to a total end of filesharing sites thanks to some not-well planned acts/thoughts regarding Piracy! However even if all filesharing sites are to be gone, Piracy would not! In the end, there would have been no meaning in shutting down the filesharing sites.

All the filesonic and megaupload links on my download list rendered useless! I probably cant get those files elsewhere! So what troubles are you guys facing due to the Megauplaod Shutdown Chain Reaction?

Megaupload Shuts Down

2012-01-20T09:31:00.003+05:00

The US government has shut down top file hosting service Megaupload and had its founder arrested on suspicion of causing $500 million in lost revenue to content sellers.

The Megaupload sites were managed through an international network of companies, head-quartered in Hong Kong.

Although not a US company and not managed from the US, the fact that it maintained US servers and supplied millions of US visitors with illegal downloads was considered ample legal grounds for the federal government to move against it.

However, as the Megaupload arrests all took place using current laws, they have not only further inflamed Internet opinion against SOPA, PIPA and the major copyright lobbies behind them, but have also apparently demonstrated that US copyright holders are quite able to launch crippling legal attacks on internationally managed sites using only existing laws.

Megaupload’s eventual fate remains unclear – the fate of piracy-related sites in similar positions has varied greatly, from those that apparently sustained all legal assaults unscathed (such as The Pirate Bay) and others which successfully sold out to copyright holders, to those whose business models simply collapsed under a hail of litigation and criminal charges.

Read More ... on BBC.

And here I have been downloading from Megaupload a lot! Usually Animes! But I guess I can't Anymore! because there is No more Megaupload now eh! So what kind of impact are you been facing from the shutdown of megaupload?

Maldives Commences Solar Power Project

2012-01-12T09:42:00.001+05:00

Maldives Promotion House – State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) and Renewable Energy Maldives (REM) has begun a solar energy project aimed at generating electricity for six islands of Malé atoll using solar energy.

The project was inaugurated by Maldives Environment Minister, Mohamed Aslam and Katherina Reiche the Parliamentary Secretary of the German Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, who is currently visiting Maldives.

According to government officials this project is part of the carbon neutrality goal set by the government. The ceremony was inaugurated by generating electricity using the solar panels fixed on the roof of the Muhiyiddeen School in Villimalé district, one of the island districts of Malé.

The solar panels will supposedly generate 61 kilowatts of electricity, which is enough to power 30 houses. STELCO plans to create 294 kilowatts of electricity using solar energy in the district by fixing additional panels on apartment complexes and government buildings.

The other five islands included in this project are Maafushi, Guraidhoo, Himmafushi, Kaashidhoo and Thulusdhoo. The project aims to generate a total of 652 kilowatts of electricity using solar energy.

It sounds Promising! Solar Panel have been fixed onto the roof of the apartment where I live too in villingili other than villimaale school! And they said that we can subscribe to solar power if we want to , it can cut our electricity bill a lot! Probably more than Half! The fixing of solar panels is still ongoing and looks like it would be over within a week! So what do you guys say about this?
